I discovered my love of photography at school – in the photo lab there, to be precise.
It was incredibly exciting to watch a picture slowly develop from nothing, and it was always a special surprise (or disappointment) to see the result of a shoot hours or days later.
With digital photography and digital image processing, much of this magic has been lost, but one thing hasn't changed for me: My constant search for motifs that have a strong graphic component. I am fascinated by the shapes, patterns and lines that are inherent in a motif. I want to make them visible through light and reduce them to the essentials. Regardless of whether I have people, animals, landscapes, buildings or specific objects in front of my lens.
